Yield Line Analysis of Two Way Reinforced Concrete Slab of Three-Sides Supported with Various Loading Conditions

Abstract

Abstract Yield line analysis is a powerful method used in structural engineering to evaluate the ultimate load-carrying capacity and failure mechanisms of reinforced concrete slabs. in this study finite element method is used to analyze three side supported(fixed) slab with concentrated loading on different location to find yield line pattern of slab. The finite element software Ansys is used to analysis the slab. this study performed on total five model or specimens. concentrated loading is positioned as-in centre of slab, shifted along central-line along the length, shifted along central-line transverse to the length. ANSYS R2 is used to simulate and analyse the structural behaviour of different models. The analysis aimed to define the yield line pattern and compare the behavior of slab for different loading condition. Overall the objective of study structural behaviour and to find the yield line pattern of slab subjected to concentrated loading at different locations.
